[FC] Vista Ultimate 64-bit

[Jason Meaden]

EDIT:

I know that I can go directly to those links by navigating to whatever the 
'real' location is .. but the point is that the link (junction) is there to 
redirect to the actual location on the file system, and so I would prefer the 
real behaviour to be that I was automatically relocated to that place, rather 
than given the error message.  I'm too old to remember what they all point to.  
Other applications appear to be able resolve them and simply do the redirect.  
Hoping someone has a suggestion.  I'm too used to FC/W to switch.

Subject: [FC] Vista Ultimate 64-bit

G'day Folks,

After living inside FC/2 and then FC/W for something like 12 years, I never 
realised how much I depended on it.

Now that I have been co-erced down a path that sees me with Vista 64-bit 
installed on my machine, I have hit a wall.  FC/W doesn't appear to follow down 
LINKS.  For instance, "C:\Documents and Settings" is no longer a folder, but a 
link to C:\Users and an attempt to navigate to it gives me an "Access is 
denied. (5)" error message.  I can navigate to C:\Users without an issue, so 
the problem isn't my access rights to that directory, but rather the ability to 
follow the link.

Not sure if this is a 'unique to 64-bit windows' problem, or an 'any version of 
Vista problem'.  Since a few years ago they made me a Manager, whatever 
technical prowess I might have possessed has dribbled out of my ears.  I am 
hoping that there is something that I can configure within Vista that will 
remedy the situation.  I am logged on as an Administrator, and I am starting 
fcw.exe by selecting "Run As Administrator".  If you have any ideas, I am more 
than happy to hear them.

I spent a few days trying to navigate Windows using Explorer .. I even download 
and tried DOPUS and some other Windows File Manager (I'm so ashamed) that I 
can't remember the name of, but it just wasn't the same.  Be it ever so humble, 
there is no place like File Commander.

I am seriously suffering a productivity issue here.  Without FC/W I have to 
crawl around Explorer, and it is so uncomfortable that I am putting off things 
that I have to do.


Regards,
Jason Meaden.
